Main Sutti Rahiyaan ... A Punjabi Sufi Song with Lyrics by Shubha Mudgal

DAILYMOTION: 

I have added mukhuda, Ranjha Ranjha Kardi in the beautiful voice of Bhavya Pandit, a promising playback singer.

Ranjha Ranjhja kardi way main, aape ranjha hoieee

(Recollecting  Ranjha (my love) all the time, I became Ranjha myself )

Ranjha kahoo sahelio, meinu Heer na aakho koieeeee

(My friends call me Ranjha, do not call me Heer)

Meinu Heer na aakho koieeeee

(Do not call me Heer)

YOUTUBE:  I have added mukhda from Kelah Kher's TERI DEVANI

(LYRICS with MEANING, Video) This haunting musical arrangements 'Main Sutti Rahiyaan' has an effect of wilderness around it. The charismatic voice of Shubha Mudgal has heightened the sheen of this rustic song. Gaurav Issar's lyrics and captivating composition have typical 'Punjabi-Sufi’ ambiance.

This song can be interpreted both as a spiritual experience (which I think, is escape from the reality) or actual reality of separation from her beloved. I have opted for the real worldly love to describe the misery of separation.

The poetry depicts the feeling of a woman who lost her love:

“While bringing water from the desert, she met and provided water to a thirsty traveler. He gave ride on his camel to her village. She fell into his love. It was an eventful night in the village, a marriage dance and rain after a very long dry spell. She danced all night in joy of infatuation and got tired. She fell asleep and did get up early in the morning. When she got up and found the traveler has already left. In hurry, she broke the pitcher from which she gave water to her Love. She took it a bad omen. She lamented and cursed her for the negligence and ran after him but did not find him”.
